Judd Apatow Talks "Walk Hard" Comedy

RottenTomatoes spoke to Judd Apatow, writer/producer of the upcoming comedy "Walk Hard," who talked briefly about the film that will spoof "Walk the Line," "Ray" and more. The story revolves around singer Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly), who overcomes adversity to become a musical legend.

"It's a pretty remarkable performance by John C. Reilly because he is the guy that would get that part [in a real drama]," said Apatow. "So he's doing something ridiculous but the acting is also fantastic. He really cries but over stupid things. It's very funny."

"They wrote 33 songs for the movie," Apatow continued. "Jack White has a cameo as Elvis and Eddie Vedder inducts him into the music hall of fame. There's a lot of weird cameos. The Beatles are played by Jack Black (as Paul McCartney), Paul Rudd (John Lennon), Jason Schwartzman (Ringo Starr) and Justin Long (George Harrison). Nobody seems at all like any Beatle."

Cox also reportedly performs a song with Jackson Browne and Ghostface Killah during the movie. "Walk Hard" hits theaters on December 14th.
